WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently took to an episode of his Kurt Angle show podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including if Matt Morgan had skills on the microphone.

Angle said, “Yeah, Matt always had composure on the microphone. I always thought he was good. Even when he was in WWE, he wasn’t there long, but I thought he carried himself really well on the microphone. And you know what? He’s a politician now, so he’s speaking to people all the time. So I’m sure he’s really comfortable today. But he was comfortable back then.”

He commented on whether Morgan should have been in the Main Event Mafia.

“When you talk about the Main Event Mafia, you’re talking about legends of wrestling, and former champions. Matt was not a former world champion, so I don’t really think he deserved to be in the Mafia. I think he had the talent, too, but he just didn’t have the credentials.”

Angle also talked about AJ Styles not going to the WWE early on in his career.

“I don’t know if it was the right thing, but so, you know, he was signed with WCW, but then they shot down and ended up going to TNA. So it was just a missed opportunity. Never had the ability to recruit, recruit because after WCW came straight, he was.”
